Chapter 56: Be My Apprentice Crewmate
The Blazing Hell, Level 1 of Impel Down, in the office of Warden Magellan.
The temperature here was extremely high, like a giant iron pot, filled with boiling pools of blood and a sea of fire.
Prisoners had to be disinfected on this level before their incarceration.
Shiryu of the Rain's sword and Mr. 1, Daz Bonez, were imprisoned on this level.
Although Satan preferred to leave Impel Down without a trace, for the sake of his crew members, he had no choice but to enter the Blazing Hell.
"My lord!"
The moment Satan stepped into the Blazing Hell, he saw Domino扑ing straight at him.
"Domino, it's only been a few days, and you've gotten even more beautiful!"
Satan wrapped an arm around Domino and laughed heartily.
That mischievous hand roamed without hesitation.
Instantly, Domino's face flushed with shame.
"The captain's ability is too terrifying!"
Shiryu of the Rain couldn't help but sigh.
He knew very well what a strict person Domino was.
But in front of Satan, she was like a kitten.
No doubt, Satan must have manipulated Domino's memories.
At the same time, Shiryu of the Rain also felt a sense of fear.
Fortunately, Satan wouldn't use it on his own comrades.
"Domino, go find Shiryu's sword!"
Satan gestured for Domino to find the sword, while he took the others to search for Mr. 1 in the Blazing Hell.
Along the way, Satan found the Blazing Hell to be a truly unbearable sight.
Everywhere, guards were torturing criminals. Under the scorching heat and the torment of the guards, the criminals were in unspeakable misery.
"Captain, are you a Devil Fruit user?"
Shiryu of the Rain couldn't help but ask.
"I am not a user!"
"But, I possess abilities just like those of users!"
"Pride, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, Envy!"
"I am the Seven Deadly Sins, possessing seven abilities!"
Satan didn't hide it; after all, they were his crew members.
Knowing his power would allow for better coordination in the future.
But, as soon as Satan's words fell, everyone was stunned.
"Seven abilities, none inferior to a Devil Fruit?"
"And you're not afraid of Seastone?"
"Captain, you're truly a freak!"
Shiryu of the Rain was stunned.
Beside him, Crocodile was also completely dumbfounded.
He had felt the benefits of the power of Greed.
And Satan had seven such powers?
So, he had seven secret techniques?
Just what kind of monster had he followed?
With abilities like these, if he was allowed to grow, who in the seas would be his opponent in the future?
Even Crocodile, who considered himself worldly and experienced, was utterly dumbfounded at this moment.
A sense of greed even began to well up in his heart.
If he mastered the power of Greed, couldn't he also comprehend secret techniques like Satan?
[Ding, subordinate version of the power of Greed has provided feedback of ten Greed points. Congratulations to the host for gaining a random +1 to mental strength!]
The system's voice sounded again.
"Zehahaha!"
"Crocodile, you are truly a worthy vessel for the power of Greed!"
Satan laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
As long as Crocodile was greedy enough, he could continuously become stronger.
Under Satan's laughter, Shiryu of the Rain and Crocodile's reverence for him grew even deeper.
This reverence was bone-deep, making them offer their loyalty without even realizing it.
"Someone is escaping!"
At that moment, a guard's voice rang out.
A burly criminal was seen running forward continuously.
Wherever he passed, other prisoners were sent flying.
"Get out of my way!"
"Or I'll throw you into the blood pool!"
The criminal kept fleeing and shouting.
Ahead of him, a burly figure carrying a giant log blocked his path!
"Get lost!"
The criminal roared, wanting to escape.
Staying here, his heart felt like it was being incinerated. If he stayed any longer, he would die!
But the burly figure remained indifferent.
He tilted his shoulder, and the giant log swept out, sending the criminal flying.
"Mr. 1!"
A trace of light finally appeared in Crocodile's calm and emotionless eyes.
The person he was looking for, he had finally found him!
On the other side, the guards had also caught up.
"As a prisoner, you're beating other prisoners!"
"You bastard, you're unrepentant!"
The guards were furious.
These criminals were in Impel Down to be reformed; fighting was not allowed.
The guards were the gods of Impel Down.
But now, someone had attacked a prisoner!
Without any hesitation, the guards all rushed towards Mr. 1!
But Mr. 1's face remained resolute and indifferent.
He was not a man of many words, but he also knew no fear!
"Stop!"
At that moment, Satan's voice rang out.
"Who?"
"Big Brother?"
The guards were stunned for a moment, but then they all hailed Satan as "Big Brother."
This dramatic scene left the prisoners dumbfounded.
"Mr. 1, this is my captain."
"Want to join us?"
Crocodile extended an invitation.
"Captain?"
Mr. 1's unshakable heart was thoroughly shocked.
He knew how proud Crocodile was.
And now, he had a captain?
And this Satan before him didn't look like a criminal at all.
He was even called "Big Brother" by the people of Impel Down!
What was going on?
Mr. 1 was bewildered!
"A good look in your eyes!"
"Although you're weak, you're good enough to be an apprentice crew member!"
"Daz Bonez, user of the Dice-Dice Fruit!"
"Tell me, do you want to board my ship?"
Satan extended an invitation.
"You... a pirate?"
"Impossible! How could a pirate walk so freely in Impel Down!"
"No, that pirate is the Warlord of the Sea, Crocodile!"
"And there's the former Head Jailer of Impel Down, Shiryu of the Rain!"
"My god, what on earth happened to Impel Down? Has it been invaded?"
"Please, please, take me with you when you leave!"
The pirates exclaimed in shock.
Looking at Satan and his group, their faces were filled with envy and jealousy!
A pirate had invaded Impel Down
